The film and its era
One Hundred and One Dalmatians debuted in 1961, featuring Pongo, Perdita, their puppies, and the unmistakable villain Cruella de Vil.

Collector notes
Check whether a collectible follows the original animated designs or a later live-action interpretation. Packaging and manufacturer information matter more than a familiar character silhouette.
